Possibly OpenTTD?

Same developer but different games, from what I can tell he released Transport Tycoon first, then Locomotion which had ?better graphics and less complexity?

I’ll have to try openloco, I’ve only ever played OpenTTD and it’s pretty good

I made one recently that was pretty nice - tomato base, sliced (cooked) pork chipolatas, pineapple and cheese. Plenty of oregano and basil.

You should use Wayland, not x

Sorry should clarify - the rainforest road was marked with this sign from the article.
So yes a maximum of 100, but due to the nature of the road there’s no way you could do over that without killing yourself. Most of the time, you’d only have time to get up to 60 (if that) before another blind bend.

It just felt nice not to have to worry about speed and focus on the road, because here in Australia they’d have a posted speed limit way too slow and a speed trap around each bend.

I don’t really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.

I’m still bitter over Inbox.

I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.

I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager’s daily musings that drive what development does?

One of the best drives I’ve done is from Queenstown (on the lightning bolt lake) up the west coast to Greymouth (on the north west coast where the snowcaps stop, the plain there).

Beautiful scenery - you’d be driving (no speed limit, so you can concentrate on the bends) through rainforest one minute and then emerge onto a vast river delta with a giant wooden bridge, then back into forest, then out onto a plain with towering snowcapped mountains above you, then back into forest, then pop out at a beautiful beach.

Never experienced anything like it, it’s one of my favourite memories of my trip to NZ.

That’s ‘dressed all round’ what I’m assuming is finished milled. I’m a very amateur diyer - I’d imagine that if you went to a timber yard here they’d probably have a good idea what you were after. Just read online that most bulk wood is bought by the cubic metre, but all dimensioned wood is by the linear metre.

what’s the metric equivalent of ordering “four-quarter” boards?

We have a lot of standard sizes that seem to be based on imperial - 12mm (1/2inch), 16mm (5/8inch), 19mm (3/4inch), 32mm (5/4inch) etc.

If you’re actually interested in taking a look, here’s a link to the dressed timber section of Australia’s hardware capital - Bunnings.

I’d argue that’s just because you’re more familiar with Fahrenheit (making the assumption you grew up with it).

Celsius is just as ‘good’ as anything, better if you consider that measuring temperature extends beyond human comfort ranges.

Second cleaning it out - makes a world of difference. I usually shave a toothpick down a little sharper with scissors, then gently fish out gunk and dust.

Second the hybrid. I had a nice one - bronze face and the gold hands would move to indicate notification type etc. had some complications for step count etc. It looked great, I reckon it’d be even better with a small eink screen to show who the message was from etc. Kind of like the withings

Galaxy watch 5 pro would be best of the Samsung ones for that - lasts two days and does all the stuff. It’s got nothing on a Garmin for battery life though.

But the point of the article is that the watch literally can’t be repaired - no first or third party can do it.

But I can get any apple watch repaired. Yes they are scummy about third party, but apple will gladly repair it for money.

I can understand the shift.

I think the difference is that Apple products can be repaired, as parts are plentiful for third party repairers and apple will also repair it (for a premium).

The article is saying how no-one, not even Google, can repair a pixel watch as there were no spare parts produced.

Edit: I understand their repair policies re MacBook repair shops etc, but for a consumer being told that even the manufacturer can’t do anything is a bit galling and cause for reflection on future purchases.

You should read this page: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup

It’s very detailed about what to do to get stuff working (on lots of distros), and what currently isn’t working (see camera support etc)

I took a look in the past but deemed it too much of a compromise at the time for what wasn’t working.

I wonder if having a more exposed ‘open’ port without the tongue would lead to more damaging debris getting lodged inside.

I shave a toothpick down to be half the width at the tip and use it to clean out lint etc
